Sikh turban as a fashion Accessory

[Dhillon]

Gucci using white models to showcase turbans has created a lot of outcry.

Many felt that it was inappropriate as Sikh turban goes beyond fashion for Sikhs.

Dastaar, it is the most commonly recognized symbol of the Sikh community.

It’s an article of faith partly to cover long uncut hair and is worn mostly by Sikh boys and men, many of whom who’ve struggled with wearing it in western spaces.

So a luxury brand that imitates a religiously loaded item on a runway, without credit to its origin and history, and using white people to model fits all the components of cultural appropriation.

People need to grow up. What about the so called 'singh's' that are not amritdari that wear it for fashion?

The ones that make the pagh 'Swag' these days following the likes of Diljit and have shaved/Trimmed beards?

Or the ones that wear trendy pagh's and drink and smoke?

They should look at themselves first of how they are portraying it and how they make Pagh fashion!!! If not then Sh*t up and get over it.
